Encompassing alchemical, experimental, genre-defying, highly personal, boldly eclectic, mind-expanding and/or pareidolia-inducing features (of the last three years, but seen in 2017), as well as a few 'conventional arthouse' films which have had limited release, ]Cinema Obscura[ list marks the 1000th article on NGboo Art and for a good reason.
This small jubilee is my way of sending a very special 'Thank you' to the filmmakers or rather cine-dream weavers who have given a significant boost to my self-confidence which has been almost ruined by some... local factors. Your works inspire me to move on, so I shall be looking forward to seeing your future offerings.
